Abstract
The objective of this study was to investigate the fate and occurrence of trace organic contaminants (TOrC) in Onsite Wastewater Systems (OWS) in an effort to understand the presence and attenuation of TOrC in these systems. A full-scale septic tank and sequencing batch membrane bioreactor (SBMBR) were used to provide water for the experiments. Bench-scale soil columns were used to simulate the performance of soil absorption systems. Effluent from both STE and SBMBR were used in soil column experiments. Published by WERF. 32 pages.
